Thread Name: BS: Daylight map- a neat trick...
Subject: BS: Daylight map- a neat trick...
Someone has added a tweak to Google Maps to show the current daylight areas...right here ....but you can then zoom in on the area you choose (well, if you have a reasonably fast connection, I guess) and see the stored satellite photos of the area.

If I understand it, this will give you a view of the Ketchikan, Alaska International Airport

You can zoom in, copy the link from the top, and display it like I just did..(I think)...I am beginning to use tricks like this to give directions to my house. There has been a very large increase in the database now online, and it's growing every day.

Now, here's MY area, but note...you only 'see' it briefly if it's dark here, as it is as I post....then after a second, they overlay the relevant amount of 'dark'. Come back later to see it in daylight.

(In regular Google maps and GoogleEarth, you can get the daylight view anytime....)
